2. Female: the center of the chest is very flat and there is no depression, and the body is very wide, and the anus is close to the edge of the abdomen, about 1.5 cm at the tail base.

Breeding methods of olecranon turtles

1. Water quality management: the water temperature of olecranon turtles should not be too high, preferably below 32 degrees, and the turtle tank should avoid direct sunlight as far as possible. Water quality should be strictly checked. In the south, tap water can be raised directly, and mountain spring water, well water and stream water can also be used. In the north, tap water can be placed for a period of time before it can be used. Moreover, olecranon turtles are violent and must not be mixed with other turtles or raised with multiple olecranon turtles.

2. Water level management: the water depth of the olecranon turtles should be at least above the turtle's back armor, and the maximum depth should not exceed 1 meter. There should be enough stones or other climbing objects in the tank for the turtles to climb. It is best to choose rough stones for breathing. The cylinder wall should be high enough to prevent the olecranon from escaping. Analysis: the powerful tail and four claws of the olecranon tortoise can easily escape from the low turtle tank.

3. Food choice: olecranon turtles eat not only animal feed but also plant feed. In order to make it grow fast, it should be based on animal feed, supplemented by plant feed, and need to add a variety of vitamins, trace elements, calcium, phosphorus and other mineral feed. The ratio of animal and plant feed should be 7:3 or 8:2, the feed should be fresh, feed should be finished on the same day of processing, no rotten food should be fed.

4. Feeding: olecranon turtles need to process large pieces of bait such as fish and shrimp into small pieces before feeding, so as to facilitate the turtle to eat, and put the bait into the water to adapt to the habit of olecranon turtles like to eat underwater. The amount of each feeding is 20.3% of the turtle's body weight, once a day in summer and once every two days in spring and autumn. No feeding is required when the water temperature is below 20 ℃. Each feeding time is basically fixed, regular feeding is conducive to the formation of conditioned reflex of turtles, but also easy to observe the eating situation of turtles.

5. Disease prevention and control: olecranon turtles have strong vitality and usually do not get sick, but if they are not properly raised, diseases such as nutrition and metabolism will occur. If diseases occur, they need to prescribe the right medicine in time. At the same time, attention should be paid to changing the water in the breeding pond, every 2 days in summer and every 5 days in spring and autumn, so as to keep the water quality clean and do a good job in tortoise disease prevention.
